Flowers are waiting for the geese to urge, jiangnan in March to send spring back. What should be the limit of the thistle peach plum, the years do not know the spring to come - Qi Jiguang
In the last years of the Ming Dynasty, the coastal areas of the Wokou rampant, the people are not happy, but the army is helpless, it turns out that most of these Wokou are composed of wandering warriors in the Japanese region, not only strong in martial arts, but also come and go without a trace, they not only rob the people of their finances, but also seriously affect the economy of the coastal areas.
In desperation, Qi Jiguang came to the danger and was ordered to go to the Fujian region to suppress the Wukou, after years of development, Qi Jiguang formed his own Qi family army, which not only made the Wukou disappear, but also created a powerful army, but unfortunately, this army finally ended in dismal.
Qi Jiajun
During the Jiajing period, the famous general Qi Jiguang came to the Fujian region to attack the Wokou, but as soon as he arrived here, Qi Jiguang felt a deep despair, and it turned out that the army here had long been frightened by the Wokou, not only did they fight and tie their hands and feet, but also the phenomenon of escaping from the battlefield, how this kind of army fought against the Wokou.
After in-depth understanding of the Wukou, Qi Jiguang found that if he wanted to defeat the Wukou, he had to overwhelm them in momentum, so Qi Jiguang had the idea of forming his own army, at this time, Feng Ziming from the Yiwu region told Qi Jiguang a good news, it turned out that the Wukou were not victorious here, they had once failed.
There is a silver mine in the Yiwu area, there are many miners, are young adults, after the Wokou came here, these miners and the Wokou launched a big war, although the wounds were heavy, but they directly drove the Wokou out, since then the Wokou no longer dare to step into the silver mine, they have never had military training, they can still defeat the Wokou, if they carry out regular training, the results can be imagined.
So Qi Jiguang came to Yiwu and began to recruit troops with rich military salaries, perhaps because the military salaries were very high, or perhaps because of their desire for revenge, and it did not take long for Qi Jiguang to form an army of more than 4,000 people, which was the prototype of the Qi family army.
However, it is not enough to have people, and it is necessary to have many aspects of training to defeat the Wokou, so Qi Jiguang invented three magic weapons to attack the Wokou, the first is the Qi family knife, most of the weapons used by the Wokou are Japanese Tai dao, this weapon has a large attack range, but it is flexible enough, which makes the soldiers very headache.
So Qi Jiguang invented the Qi family knife that was longer than the Tai Dao, which not only had more advantages in attack distance, but also the Qi family knife only opened in the place where the tip of the knife was one palm long, and it could be attacked from a distance or in close combat, which greatly limited the combat effectiveness of the Wokou.
In addition, Qi Jiguang also invented the Wolf Qiang, this weapon resembles bamboo, not only can interfere with the sight of multiple enemies at the same time, but also maximize the killing, in order to make up for the weakness of the warriors' martial arts, Qi Jiguang also invented the Mandarin Duck Array, multiple people as a combat team, to protect themselves at the same time do not give the enemy the opportunity to escape.
After a short period of running-in, Qi Jiguang's warriors began a large-scale encirclement and suppression of the Wukou, and finally defeated all the Wokou and protected the safety of the coastal areas.
Jealousy
From a combat point of view, the Qi family army is an important armed force of the country, not only can fight, but also strict discipline, but from a private point of view, relying on qi family army surging Qi Jiguang, naturally has become a thorn in the eyes of many people, among which Li Chengliang, who is the most hostile to Qi Jiguang.
In fact, Li Chengliang was also a great general during the Jiajing period, with a great reputation, he was responsible for guarding the northern region of the Ming Dynasty, commonly known as the Northern Army, in the middle of the dynasty, a high position of authority, the right to speak was second only to Zhang Juzheng, the first assistant of the dynasty, originally Li Chengliang admired Qi Jiguang, after all, he was the same kind of person, but with Qi Jiguang's military achievements more and more, Li Chengliang changed.
He began to be jealous and even hated Qi Jiguang, because Qi Jiguang had reached the same height as Li Chengliang in just a few short years, not only that, but what made Li Chengliang jealous the most was the relationship between Qi Jiguang and Zhang Juzheng.
As the first assistant of the dynasty, Zhang Juzheng has a lot of power, it can be said that Qi Jiguang gradually grew up under the protection of Zhang Juzheng, when Qi Jiguang recruited troops, it was through Zhang Juzheng that he got a super high military salary to successfully complete the task, and in the process of eliminating the Wukou, Zhang Juzheng has also been increasing the intensity of appropriations.
However, in contrast, Li Chengliang's situation is much different, in the bitter cold land of the north, Li Chengliang has been guarding for decades, and he does not dare to say that his prestige is famous, at least the importance to the country is self-evident, but after the rise of the Qi family army, Li Chengliang found that whether it is the degree of attention or military salary, the Qi family army has shown a crushing state.
For this point, Li Chengliang also tried to contact Zhang Juzheng at the beginning, not to ask for much increase, at least the same as the Qi family army's military salary, but Zhang Juzheng directly rejected Li Chengliang, and went to accept the gift sent by Qi Jiguang, from then on, the seed of hatred in Li Chengliang's heart began to sprout, and it was also doomed to the tragedy of the qi family army's demise.
The Qi family army perished
After the hatred, Li Chengliang began to constantly look for opportunities, and finally, Zhang Juzheng's downfall gave him hope, as Zhang Juzheng left the center of power, Qi Jiguang also lost his protection and was directly transferred to Guangdong, although on the surface it seemed to be a promotion, but in fact, Qi Jiguang completely lost the management of qi family army.
However, this is only the first step, with the outbreak of the Korean War, Li Chengliang, who has long been in charge of the northern war, became the commander-in-chief of this battle, in order to ensure combat effectiveness, the Qi family army was naturally transferred to the north and placed under the management of Li Chengliang's son Li Rusong.
With command, the rest of the things are much easier to do, the Qi family army has just arrived in Korea was sent a large number of difficult tasks, although the Qi family army is very brave, in the case of huge losses also completed the combat task, but waiting for them is the next conspiracy.
Seeing that the Qi family army had completed the task, Li Chengliang had another plan in his heart, he recorded all the military merits of the Qi family army this time on another unit, which soon aroused the anger of the Qi family army, you must know that after the fall of Zhang Juzheng, the qi family army's military salary has shrunk many times, and now the military merit has been taken away by others, of course, it cannot be tolerated.
However, the anger of the Qi family army was right in the heart of Li Chengliang, taking this opportunity, Li Chengliang immediately reported upwards, the Qi family army had rebellious thoughts, the next scene, let Li Chengliang laugh out loud, and soon the imperial court issued an order to completely wipe out the Qi family army, a total of more than 4,000 troops, except for less than a hundred people who escaped to heaven, all were killed on the spot, and none of them were alive.
Not only that, the weapons used by the Qi family army, tactics, etc., were all banned by the imperial court, and the once brilliant Qi family army finally ended in tragedy, in history, some gold is destined to shine, but some gold will also be buried, if the Qi family army is handed down, it will become the biggest barrier in the entire coastal area.
